The thread for flipping shits (and tables)

TRRS to TRS-TRS splitters are your friend. It splits a combined headphone/mic jack into two TRS connectors, one for headphones and one for mic.

these splitters are exactly what got me into this mess in the first place (and i actually bought another one at radioshack (which i had thought went out of business) since that post, one which ALSO didn't work and crushed the signal to mono but in a different way.) i think i figured out a workaround that won't cost me any money i'll try tomorrow though. thanks anyway
